I have fun every time I run, and have recently overcome the "I can't go fast anymore" hurdle. I'm having fun going faster and working towards becoming even faster.

I have raised two running children, one competitive and one not.

I have learned to run in ice and snow and I don't complain.

Short-Term Running Goals:

Work towards a faster marathon by Spring 2012.

Get my 5K down to 21:30.

Place in my division at duathlon and triathlon.

Train for biathlon.

Long-Term Running Goals:

Joining Forrest Gump

Personal:

I'm a 52 year old mom of two ex homeschooled teenagers. They both think I'm nuts.

Track workout! We started at 5:30, so already dark, but the WWU track has lights, so its good. The workout called for 5X1200s, which we decided to do at 5K pace. Mile paces for these 1200s were: 7:26, 7:19, 7:24, 7:08, and 6:50. I had tons of energy and felt great, especially on the last one. Felt really good to go fast for a change.

Will thoroughly stretch and do abs and strengthening stuff before I go to sleep.

Nice workout! It's always good to verify the speed's still there.

You sure are speedy. I'm glad the group is going strong.

Carolyn, Thanks. This is a brand new track group for me. My marathon training group is officially over, but a bunch of us get together and run sometimes, and we've found this track workout to do together as well.
